Caption: Titania…..The remaining bones of retired Goderich-Exeter Railway (GEXR) GP9 177 are visible as the Stratford, Ontario station looms in the background on a quiet spring morning.
The railway’s first four locomotives, which had arrived on GEXR during 1992 and 1994, were given names of certain Shakespearean characters by RailTex. GP9 177 was named "Titania", GP9 178 was named "Paulina", GP9 179 was named "Portia" and GP9 180 was named "Falstaff", as Stratford is the home of the historic Canadian Shakespearean Festival.
